Social Liberal Party of Brazil

The Social Liberal Party (PSL) is a right-wing populist and national conservative political party in Brazil that was founded by Luciano Bivar on 30 October 1994. The party was initially a centrist and liberal party, but Jair Bolsonaro's arrival in the party in January 2018 led to the social liberal wing splitting from the party. The party proceeded to follow a national conservative path, and it abandoned it social liberal policies in favor of economic liberalism, privatization, decentralization, social conservatism, and opposition to same-sex marriage, abortion, marijuana legalization, and the teaching of gender identity in schools.
